	Norfolk Naval Shipyard holds particular importance in asbestos litigation for several documented reasons. Danziger & De Llano's historical analysis indicates that as America's oldest continuously operating naval shipyard, the facility accumulated over 250 years of industrial activity, with the most intensive asbestos use occurring between 1930 and 1980.<ref name="dandell-risk" /> The shipyard's infrastructure expanded significantly in the late 19th century with major additions including Dry Dock #2, constructed between November 1887 and September 1889 at a cost of $495,737. Originally named Simpson Dock, the 530-foot structure required 8 million gallons of water capacity and was built on a foundation of piling topped with three feet of concrete and Georgia heart pine; the first vessel to enter the dock was USS Yantic on September 19, 1889.<ref name="robbins-drydock2" /> These facilities were later retrofitted with extensive asbestos insulation as steam-powered vessel technology advanced.
